My friend is looking into getting a large swing and big bore CNC lathe. He is interested in the Haas TL-3, but it doesn't come with a turret, and I think he'd be better served by a machine with a turret.
30" swing (ie, can really swing 30" parts) 3" boreHe's open to used machines in excellent condition.
Thanks!
Why you're perfectly welcome....
I have a Mazak M4 - only 22" swing, 3" spindle bore,72" long, twin turrets with turret tool holders included. This is a 30 year old machine in good, not excellent condition. It has a refit control by Camsoft. I'm located in Minnesota. $5000

He's looking for new or really excellent condition, and really wants the 30" swing. Mostly just looking for recommendations for new or recent machines.
Thanks.

MOri Seiki SL65 for starters. A lathe without a turret is like a truck without tires.

Do you get a spindle motor with the haas or just 5 hamsters and a wheel?
